Skyrim Launches Tomorrow!

So the day that we have all been waiting for is finally happening tomorrow, Skyrim launches. We finally get to find out if all the vids, pics, and articles that we've all main lined into our heads live up to our expectations.

So what great things are we waiting for:
  1. Dragons, lots and lots of dragons. Dragons in the air, dragons on the ground and oh did I mention dragons. We get to roam the landing killing dragons collecting powers from them. I think this is every fan of Elder Scrolls dream.
  2. Duel wield. This is the first Elder scrolls game that you can duel wield not just two, one handed weapons but two spells as well. You can mix and match spell combinations to produce different effects. Or if you want keep that sword in hand and use the other to zap your enemies.
  3. Supposedly infinite quests. While the game does have a main story quest set and guild story quest set, I've read how quests will be randomly generated potentially giving the player an almost infinite set of quests.
  4. As with every Elder Scroll game a massive world left open for us to explore and experience. Half the fun of Cataclysm was just going our and running around. It seems I had more adventures while just roaming the map.
  5. A totally refined skill system.  No more randomly running everywhere and jumping of crazy things  to make a skill go up. 
  6. Stunning graphics. Cataclysm had some stunning graphics, sometimes I would find myself just sitting on the road looking out over the water. Skyrim doesn't look to have skimped on the pretty though, as we've seen with the pictures and vids so far.
  7. Amazing design. Each species, weapon and building has such a great design really making it so you can almost feel that sword in your hand or the heat of the dragons breath as he tries to cook you.
So those are the things I'm looking forward to. I'm sure others are looking forward to other things, if I missed one that's near and dear to you let me know and I'll add it to the list.  I will have a review of the game with any luck some time tomorrow. As always I look forward to your comments.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

Image
That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
